You can get a massage whatever age you want ha don't think you're too old!
and if you're in pain age shouldn't matter. You need it!

even little babies can receive massages. you aren't too young at all.

No, just find a therapist you can trust. I was sexually assaulted by a registered massage therapist at the local gym where I was a member.

No, you are not too young to have a massage. You can go to a professional massage therapist, a credible massage clinic or go to a spa.

If in doubt, you can first go to a chiropractor or your family physician. But generally, it's good to start at a young age.

Hope this helps.

You are certainly not too young for a massage.
While my daughter was in massage school, she focused study on infant and maternity massage techniques.

There are girls younger than you getting massages.
You're not to young, go ahead and get one

Talk to your doctor who can prescribe physical therapy.

Physical therapy for back pain usually includes not just a massage but also exercises, electrical stimulation, heat and/or cold, and advice.

You don't want to simply go to a massage place without talking to your doctor first, especially if you are already having problems at such a young age. Plus, in general you are less likely to become a victim of a sexual assault at a licensed physical therapy facility.

no, not at all.

If it is done in a professional manner by a certified masseuse, sports doctor or chiropractor, then you can have it done. A massage in and of itself is not sexual; it has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, relieve stress and pain and to promote health and well-being. If you are nervous, you can always have it done by a female.
